One third the sum of two consecutive numbers is one less than the smaller. Find the numbers.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]2 years ago

(B) 4 and 5

4 and 5 are consecutive numbers and when you add both of them (sum) you get 9.

Once you get 9, it says 1/3 of the sum of the two consecutive numbers.

So we would do 9 divided by 3 which then we would get 3.

It also says the number is one less than the smaller number (which is 4 in this case as 4 is smaller than 5).

3 is one number smaller than 4 and is therefore the answer.

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds is 3 3  / 8 pounds

<h3>How to solve fractions?</h3>

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed to make the stew exactly 10 pounds can be calculated as follows:

potatoes weight = 2 7 / 8 pounds = 23 / 8 pounds

green beans weight = 1 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 pounds

pepper weight = 2 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 pounds

Therefore,

weight needed = 10 - 23 / 8 - 5 / 4 - 5 / 2

weight needed = 80 - 23 - 10 - 20 / 8

weight needed = 80 - 53 / 8

weight needed = 27 / 8

weight needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds = 3 3  / 8 pounds

Explain how the number line can
DochEvi [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.

Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...

  -1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75
